Hello to two of my favorite MAPP grads who continue to inspire us all. Great interview! I had no idea, Louisa, your depression was the instigator for your PP career. What great life fertilizer to make your PP flowers grow. I am so happy to learn you have had no depression since. PP works. It surely weeds out negativity.

Also, I was thrilled to see you discuss the negativity bias and how Barb Fredrickson’s positivity ratio idea and positive resonance helped you conquer ruminating. I can so relate as many clients add fuel to their inner critic fire intro-punitively until they learn the 10 Positive Emotions and how to add them to their lives daily. Accept the negative but then move forward. Life altering! One daily action at a time.
